This fall, it is time to embrace your inner plaid side. Plaids are being used on nearly everything. From dresses and blazers, to bracelets and shoes, this Scottish fabric is all over the fashion scene. Flash back to The Limited Too, Circa 1990. Plaid was everywhere. I think I had about ten pair of plaid leggings in a variety of colors. Even the LTD logo on the over-sized sweatshirts was plaid. And boy did we think that we were looking good….well, as you can see above on the runways of Lela Rose, DVF, and DKNY plaid has officially made its comeback!
The great thing about comebacks in fabric is that if you are a clothes hoarder like me, then you are most likely able to round up a few pieces from years past that are somehow back with the current trends. This past weekend, I was able to locate an awesome plaid blazer that I undoubtedly snatched from my grandmother’s house years ago. In perfect condition, you would never know that it was a hand-me-down, and the best part is…since it is vintage…no one else will have it! I love it! Last year we saw the beginning of the emergence of plaid’s comeback so hopefully you have at least a few pieces that will roll over into this season. The only difference is that this fall, the plaid fad is totally amped up!
For the fashion-conscious it is always important to not look like you are trying too hard. Plaid is perfect for accomplishing this goal. Its laid back aesthetic feel makes you look effortlessly chic, which is the ultra-compliment…. A.K.A. being able to look super hip while still maintaining the “oh, this old thing” sentiment. So get on with your plaid self, and sport this current trend!
